Kogi Mourns Passing of Former President Muhammadu Buhari
The Government and the good people of Kogi State have received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.
The statement reads: “This is a monumental loss not only to Nigeria, but to the African continent, and indeed the world.
President Buhari was a leader of quiet strength, deep convictions, and a patriotic heart wholly committed to the unity, progress, and stability of Nigeria.
Speaking on the passing of the former President, the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, described the news as “a moment of national grief and a reminder of the enduring legacy of discipline, integrity and sacrifice that President Buhari stood for.”
According to the Governor, “President Buhari was a man who came at different times in our national history to steer the ship of state with a deep sense of responsibility.
He was not a man of many words, but one whose actions consistently reflected his belief in a better, safer, and more self-reliant Nigeria.”
Kogi State will remember him for his commitment to critical infrastructure, national security, and his consistent stand against corruption.
His efforts laid a solid foundation upon which successive administrations, including ours in Kogi, continue to build.
We stand in solidarity with the Government and people of Katsina State, the family of the late statesman, and indeed all Nigerians, as we mourn a patriot who gave his all in service to the nation.
May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.
